World Rivers Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of September every year but in the Riverland and Mallee, where the Murray is the lifeblood of the region, people celebrate the river every day.

In 2011 The Berri Barmera Council set up webcams to provide 24 hour real time and still images of the river, in all its glory, to the world.

The cameras were set up to celebrate the river but also to combat incorrect media coverage which will often report the river to be running dry in drought times or flooding in times of high river.

Riverland ABC Open Producer Susan Rooney Harding asked the Berri Barmera Council to share the images they had collected with the children from Berri Primary School.

With some help the children used the opportunity to celebrate what they love about the Murray River and time-lapsed the images to create a beautiful a video so you can join them in honouring the Murray River Murray too.
